Aug-13-14 L Ortega vs P Trotto, 2004    standardwisdom: Is black already lost after 17. Qxh6 I cannot think of any move at that point that saves black. What does silicon say?      Jul-29-14 Fischer vs H Mobley, 1964    standardwisdom: <JohnTal: How about 33 ... Rd1+ for Black.> I love 33 ... Rd1+ White keeps his 1 pawn advantage and may win, but I don't see any short term win.      Jul-16-14 Najdorf vs E Reinhardt, 1955    standardwisdom: <Phony Benoni: ...27.Rfxf7 seems the way to go. That threatens the standard double rook mate on the 7th rank as well as 28.Qxg6+, and after 27...Rxf7 28.Qxg6+ Kh8 29.Rxf7 even a free check can't give Black a chance to cover both g7 and h7.> Well, to be precise, 29.. Qg8      Jul-10-14 Caruana vs Adams, 2013    standardwisdom: Very interesting moves 9, 11 and 13 by white, advancing the king side pawns (exposing the castle), while at the same time leaving queen side entirely undeveloped. Easier than usual Thursday, but then again I went to IHOP for breakfast, so maybe that had something to do with ...      Jul-03-14 M Golubev vs A Kovchan, 2006    standardwisdom: I have wondered for years, but exactly what language does Sr. chrisowen speak? Where can I pick up a dictionary? Just curious!      Jun-16-14 Janosevic vs Ivkov, 1954    standardwisdom: Might be black to play, but the idea that Monday = Queen sac still remains. Got a bit distracted looking for smothered mate, but the back rank mate with knight checking the f2 square is helpful.      May-01-14 R M Bruce vs R Bruce, 1957    standardwisdom: First of all, I got the puzzle rather easily, and I know many people didn't, so there, I said it, I feel good. (End of gloating.) Secondly though, I played through the entire game from move 1, and when I hit move 22, no one told me it was a puzzle and not even a FAINT bell ...      Apr-23-14 M Richter vs E Berg, 2011    standardwisdom: Indeed Sally Simpson: I missed that there is indeed a better move by the queen, although the better move by the rook is denied due to the pin. Thanks!      Apr-21-14 Alatortsev vs Koblents, 1945    standardwisdom: <Once>One of your master pieces, for sure. After I avoided the tiny red herring Rxg2 (as also pointed by <sneaky>), I purposefully looked for your post to find/confirm where white had gone awry. Among delightful culinary humor is your point about 17. b4. Dare I ...      Apr-12-14 S Globus vs R Gross, 1884    standardwisdom: Swooooosh! Waaaaay over my head. I just saw that 16. Nxc6 would drop my queen so I didn't even pursue it further.      Jan-15-13 A Kargin vs P Haba, 1998     Jan-09-13 Velimirovic vs A Zontakh, 1998     Jan-07-13 C Cacco vs Z Amanov, 2006     Jan-02-13 M Konopka vs P Haba, 1998     Dec-18-12 Wiesel vs Weigel, 1923     Dec-17-12 J Finnegan vs R P Allen, 1948     Dec-11-12 H Wimmer vs A Caoili, 1998     Dec-07-12 Matulovic vs J Pedersen, 1981     Dec-03-12 L Mate vs I Makai, 1997     Nov-21-12 Ponomariov vs A Alavkin, 1997     Oct-24-12 J Wyss vs B Bellahcene, 2012     Sep-22-12 A Valsecchi vs P Bontempi, 2012     Sep-04-12 J Kalish vs E Dunphy, 1966     Aug-03-12 K Akshayraj vs S Safin, 2005     Jul-29-12 H Asauskas vs V Malisauskas, 2004     Jul-11-12 A Karpatchev vs R Oney, 2006     Jun-19-12 Santasiere vs E B Adams, 1926     May-26-12 J Barle vs I Jelen, 1979     May-07-12 Petrosian vs Spassky, 1966     Apr-16-12 R A Dowden vs W Petch, 1982     Apr-15-12 Huebner vs A S Segal, 1969     Mar-30-12 R Garcia vs J Rubinetti, 1972     Jan-27-12 M Fette vs R Storm, 1991     Jan-18-12 Cipev vs Ftacnik, 1973     Jan-08-12 Giri vs V Toporov, 2005    Jan-04-12 Gelfand vs Jobava, 2011     Jan-04-12 Konstantin Chernyshov (elder) vs A Lesiak, 1969     Jan-02-12 I Abraham vs G Janny, 1923     Dec-30-11 S Bouaziz vs Miles, 1979     Dec-29-11 I Balanel vs A Pytlakowski, 1951     Dec-27-11 Blackburne vs Lush, 1885     Dec-21-11 A Sokolsky vs L Strugach, 1958     Dec-16-11 Capablanca vs R Raubitschek, 1906     Dec-13-11 A Beliavsky vs Kupreichik, 1983     Dec-07-11 H Doumont vs D Peter, 1988    Dec-05-11 Lasker vs A Fortuyn Harreman, 1908     Dec-03-11 P Cramling vs H Hunt, 2006     Nov-30-11 Smirin vs Anand, 1994     Nov-30-11 E Delmar vs Lasker, 1901     Sep-20-11 K Hamppe vs A Schwarz, 1864     Sep-16-11 E Bukic vs Romanishin, 1977     Aug-27-11 Chiburdanidze vs Dvoirys, 1980     Aug-16-11 H Reinle vs NN, 1936     Aug-15-11 O Jonsson vs S Peschardt, 2009     Aug-15-11 H A Jensen vs S Peschardt, 2009    Aug-14-11 W Liu vs J H Donner, 1978     Aug-07-11 Tal vs Hjartarson, 1987     Aug-06-11 F Zimmermann vs W Huebner, 1977     Aug-05-11 Morozevich vs Oll, 1997     Jul-24-11 A Nimzowitsch vs Tartakower, 1911     Jul-13-11 Fischer vs J Terrone, 1964     Jul-02-11 P Leonhardt vs Tarrasch, 1910     Jun-28-11 G Cappello vs E Paoli, 1967     Jun-24-11 M Pavlovic vs Carlsen, 2006     Jun-23-11 Kamsky vs Gelfand, 2011     Dec-29-10 L Busquets vs A Mortazavi, 1994     Dec-25-10 Uhlmann vs Bolbochan, 1966     Dec-22-10 Z Franco Ocampos vs A Alawieh, 1992     Dec-14-10 Robatsch vs F J Perez, 1963     Dec-09-10 R Wilms vs H Fraas, 2007    Dec-03-10 Y Xu vs A Ushenina, 2006
